Apache Open Office and functional spell-check support

I'm Looking for spell-check advice for Apache Open Office. I use Apache O-O on both my XP Professional 32-bit box and my Win-10 box. On the Win 10 box, spell check works fine, but not with XP. Within XP, spell-check underlines every lower-case word, suggesting all are mis-spelled - not helpful. I am running the same V on both laptops, O-O V 4.1.6. I tried a dictionary-transplant from the 10-box into the XP. That made no difference. As far as I can tell, my settings are the same on both machines. My guess is that V 4.1.6 doesn't like running on XP. Do you know of a fix for this? I am considering a version rollback in the hope of finding an older version that fully supports spell-check on XP , but finding a trustworthy vendor of legacy software is a challenge. Thanks for reading this !

can get to an older version from above, the link was found HERE

system requirements, note: it requires java which is no longer supported on xp and are you good with the rest of the requirements listed above?

still can't help with spell check, but the below link might help

Brilliant. I'd already browsed the same (more likely similar) pages of O-O downloads but was bewildered by the package's file extensions, lots of .jre's...I didn't see any with the familiar .exe. And when I looked at what you pointed me to, I found V 3.3, that I now have on this XP box, and it's targeting words like 'popup, startup' and the like as misspelled words...Just what I needed, a version out of the box that can properly do spell-checking. And yes, I did have to do a java download (in the middle of the O-O 3.3 install) and as soon as java was set up, I was able to resume the rest of the O-O install. THANK YOU!
